MEMORIES

“Memories are the one true treasure we have in life. Without our memories, we have nothing”

-My Aunty Julie-

Memories are the one true treasure we have in life

To remember those we call Mother, Father, Brother, Sister, Husband or Wife.

We gain these moments, these brief precious flashes,

But as we grow older the time soon dashes.

The memories I have closest to my heart are ones of my family in particular my little one when parenthood began.

The moment little Samara came into this world,

To the moment the doctor placed her in my arms to be held.

Bub came four weeks early, the doctor said she was “eager to come out”

At this moment, with all the happiness in the world, we wanted to shout!

We have been blessed with a beautiful baby girl!

To us she is more precious than any diamond or pearl.

The first time she spoke and used the words “Mum” and “Dad”,

To the moment she learnt to crawl to walk and learn the good from the bad.

Each memory is a gift that we can hold forever and a day,

To us these are priceless, no matter what some may say.
